Scope and content

Contains: a table of contents; a copy of Bishop West's Statutes [of 1517], as revised by the Royal Visitors of 1549-50, with a new statute added by the Visitors of 1559-60 (at fol. 14 verso, with Visitors' signatures); and the interpretation of the Statute "De Numero Sociorum" by King Charles I, 1635.

West's statutes are written in a 16th century hand, with an elaborate capital at fol. 1. There are a few marginal notes in a 17th century hand.

The added statute is signed at the foot by five of the Visitors: William Byll., Walter Haddon, William Mey, Robert Horn and Ja. Pilkinton. It is followed (fol. 15 recto) by the notarial mark and statement of Anthony Harison certifying the document as a true copy.

The copied royal letter of 1635 is similarly marked by John Scott, notary and registrar of the University.
